Thousand DoIlars-A Bill Before the
Legislature Empowering Railroad
Commissioners to Condemn Land

For long time the building of the Jack

solidated road near Cedar Hill has hung fire.
1t is now ascertained that the bridge will be
built as soon as the spring fairly opens.
for a one hundred foot span and the other
for one hundred and fifty foot span. 'It
was found" said member of the board of
finance, "that the city would have to pay
several thousand dollars for damages to the
railroad company for the damages to land
owned by them. This was thought too large
a sum to pay and for the past six years the
matter has been discussed without reaching
any definite results by the different boards. u
A bill which had not been bulletined came
before the committee on railroads at Hart
ford for hearing yesterday, which was in
troduced with special reference to the Jack
son street bridge. The bill provides that
the railroad commissioners be granted pow
or to condemn land before the assessments
are laid. Representative Connors of this
city, G. T. Driscoll and Judge Morris ap-
peared and were heard. They of course ia
vored the bill. 1t is thought the commit
tee will undoubtedly recommend the bill.

and will cost S14 600.

WELLS 81 co. GET THEIR CASE.

Judge Torrance Decides in Their Fa-
vOr in a suit In the Superior Court.
Judge Torrance of the Superior court yes
terday handed down decision in the case OF
Lewis VS.. Wells in favor of the defendant.
The plaintiff, G. A. Lewis of New York,
brought suit against Romanta Wells & Co.,
the wholesale druggists of this city, to en-
join them against the use of the name ''Kura
koff, patent medicine, and to enjoin them
also from selling the medicine. The plain
tiff also claimed that the defendant had
taken the electrotypes, formulas and other
things connected with the business, and
brought suit for So, 1000 damages and per.
petual injunction and the return of the
formulas or recipes and the written testimo-
mails. The defendants waived all claim to
the formulas and letters and other property
connected with the business and offered to
give them up as soon as they were relieved,
as garnishees, in suit brought against G. A.
Lewis by Ell. P. Hubbard, the advertising
agent. The defendants claimed that they
had manufactured the ''Kurakof'' in good
faith, under a contract with Fl. P. Hubbard,
which was known to the plaintiff, who ex-
pressly assented to their engaging in that
business; and that the medicine made for
them was made by the plaintiffs own broth
er, with the consent of the plaintiff. When
the consent of the plaintiff was withdrawn
the defendants ceased to make and sell the
"Kurakoff." But the defendants claimed
that they had right to sell the "Kurakoff''
which they had manufactured under the
| above license Of the plaintiff, having a guam
| tity still on hand. The defendants claimed
| an injunction against the plaintiff to restrain
| him from interfering with the sale of the
''Kurakoff" that they had on hand.
Judge Torrance in his decision adjudged
that the plaintiff shall be enjoined as afore-
| said and that the defendants shall deliver up
| the testimonials and formulas on hand when
released from said garnishing process. The
defendants were also enjoined from making
any more of the "Kurakoff."
The defendants claim that they could not
make any more 'Kurakoff" if they would
| because the formula or recipe was never given
to them. When the plaintiff withdrew his
consent his brother, who was manufacturing
the medicine for the defendants, took the
formula with him.
The decree of the court is exactly such as
the defendants offered the plaintiff to take.
Henry E. Pardee was counsel for the defense.
No costs are to be charged against either
party.

There was a very large audience present al
the st. John street NJ E. church last evening
to greet DR.. Richard J. Thompson, of Fall
River, Mass, in his readings, which were in
terspersed by several songs by Miss May
Stickles of Bridgeport and two piano duets
by Mrs. Kate N. Preston and Harry B. Jep-
SOD. Mr.. Thompson recited his readings in
a manner which did himself much credit and
greatly pleased the people; his limitations of
the Irish and German languages were very
fine
The songs by Miss Stickles were rendered
in such manner as to show herself singer
of high ability. This was her first appear
ance in New Haven.
Mrs. Preston and Harry Jespon in their
piano playing also did excellent work.
The entertainment wss under the auspices

Talking About Another New railroad.

The talk of new railroad from Melrose
to Warehouse Point, to be built by the New
England road. has stirred up the manufac-
turers, who see way open for low freight
rates. 1t has been estimated that 500, 900
is paid the New Haven road for freight at
Windsor Locks each year, and President
Watrous has written some of the msnufac-
turers and has agreed to look into the mat
ter. This fact causes citation among the
manufacturers. The Springfield Republican
says: A road has also been talked of for a
few years from Tariffville, on the Connect
cut Western, to Windsor Looks, to go
through Poquonock and Rainbow. This
would be another plan of reducing the rates.
The idea of building branch track from the
lower end of the canal to the Seymour Paper
company's mill on the canal bank is meeting
with some opposition by the manufacturers
themselves, and II. R. Coffin, who has charge
of the Connecticut River company, will not
permit such track to be laid on the ground
that there is not room on the bank for it.
The New England agent visited some of the
mills again this week.

THE GOLDEN GIANT.
The "Golden Giant" with which Mckee
Rankin's engagement is to open at the New
Haven Opera House next Monday evening,
is said to resemble "The Danites" in treat
ment and to be even stronger. Concerning
his own piece of ''Wife and Child" that he
plays towards the end of the engagement, it
is described as being a pathetic domestic
drama of novel construction, and Mr.. F. G..
Maeder is named as co-author with Mr..
Rankin. The Lenten prices of 25 and 80 for
the best parts of the house promise to be a
popular success.
BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Crowded houses have greeted the popular
young English emotional actress at Bupnell's
throughout the week. Last evening she ap-
peared as Leah, in which she exhibited talent
to marked degree. In many respects she
is the most charming Leah seen in this city
for some time. We have hith erto regarded
Miss Scott as an excellent actress, IAN artist of
very fine ability, but after witnessing last
nights performance of Leah we must class
her among the first performers in her line,
and we can count them on our fingers ends.
She has a wealth of dramatic grace, and a
personal appearance that makes her picture
ever pleasing to contemplate. Her pathos
has an amount of soul in it that is captivat-
ing. Manager Bunnell is indeed fortunate in
possessing the lady's services. Saturday af-
ternoon she will again appear as Marie Stuart
